Wooden Cube Puzzles - Six Different Pictures

Price: $13.26

Seller ID: 132372

Binding: Boxed Set

Condition: Good

This is a set of 20 wooden cubes (1 1/2" square) - each side printed with part of a puzzle. The cubes are a bit worn at the edges, and the box is the cover only, with tears at the corner. The puzzle cubes can be put together to make six different farm scenes. The box is the cover only (bottom missing). The image on the cover of the box and four other paper pictures included show what the puzzles make - the sixth puzzle is a mystery since that picture is missing. No date, circa 1950's. I put together the horse and colt puzzle - harder than you'd think! Ages 3+.
